I never said I liked it, i just said that was my guess.
Think about it....scientists are always trying to "play god." WHAT IF scientists could enhance the gene responsible for the body's ability to fend off disease and heal? We could be able to force-evolve humans that would be immune to the world's diseases and be able to self-heal wounds. In an instant, scientists could theoretically make evolution happen. Remember what I said: Genes mutate. Individuals are selected. Populations evolve.
Nantuko.. I'm well aware of what you said.. and I wasn't attacking u in any way when I made my opinion about man forcing evolution on its kind barbaric.. It's just the thought of if that scares me. :biggrin:
I'll start my latest rant by giving you guys something to think about...

Life is hard. But it's harder if you don't know how the material world works!
First off, Kester.. science hasn't contradicted itself in anyway.. the reason I believe in religion is just based on one principle.. better be safe than sorry.. nothing more nothing less.. For all that matters, my truth can be false in the end.. and Nantuko may be right.. but
if that time arrives.. no one would be there to laugh at the other. :biggrin:
Thing is, I'll explain the law of thermodynamics.. and how it in no way contradicts the theory of evolution.
See, Thermodynamics is the study of energy. Energy can never be created or destroyed.. but can only be transformed from one form to another. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is always conserved, it cannot be created or destroyed. It can.. although be converted from one form to another.
Now the second law as you have correctly stated is that in all energy exchanges, when no energy enters or leaves the system, the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state. Now that in no way contradicts the theory of evolution for one basic fact.. If indeed energy did degenerate.. don't you think you should have blotted out with all the amount of energy you've used drinking, walking talking and what have you. The sun
is in fact a basic source of energy that the earth depends on.. and until the sun dies out, it will remain a good source of energy.
So indeed energy does denegerate according to entropy... but as the first law states.. we cannot destroy energy.. There's a cycle.. it's converted from one form to the other.. So next time, try not to use a law to contradict science.. when you haven't explored fully its meanings and all it has to offer.
All in all.. these facts have nothing to do with the theory of evolution.. It stands on its own and has its main facts... that indeed there's a so-called gene mutation that evolve.. and produce better surviving species. Survival of the fittest baby.. :biggrin:
SSJKarma: Dude.. let's step back for a minute.. You have a brain eh?? You've got the ability to interprete basicknowledge without the help of science and its so-called fallacies.. but tell me one thing.. If indeed, English language hadn't been so kind to us and to say the number 2 was to spell it out as trigun and 4 to spell it out as InuYasha.. no matter what happens.. trigun + trigun
will give you InuYasha .. Think of it.. You don't really need anyone to tell you that.
If you've got 2 cups and then another 2.. your eyes show you that it is in fact 4 cups in front of you.
Now on your theory on time.. with the quote
Quote:
just tell me how can they know it is 65millions years old ?
I can't really give you a factual answer on that.. for I as much as you question the section on science that has to do with Carbon dating.. it may/may not be true.. but from what they understand... and what they have as actual evidence... their numbers could be right.. for all we know.
Now what I'll argue on is the fact that although.. it might be possible in the near future.. and if in fact the Jehovah.. creator of the world according to the Christains did not exist.. but was infact a main entity created by man to instill the knowledge of Supreme being for us to follow (which I have fallen into without complain..) then science.. might have the answers to most of the questions you have asked..
Think of it.. a hundred years ago no one.. and I mean
no one could define motion of particles once they reached the speed of light.. but Einstein came and gave reason and purpose to meaning.
If in fact, you question his beliefs as being judged by a human, then try it urself.. See if you could come up with something more plausible and reasonable than vhat the German put (.. vhat was not a grammatical error) :biggrin:
By the way ppl, I've tried as much as possible to keep my arguements based on Science and the principle belief of observation.. and I hope that you all will do the same.. for in as much as I believe in Religion, I don't want this topic that's got this amount of info closed.
Now this is what amazed me..

That is just a possibility, however. Your idea does indeed make perfect sense, and I can't debate against it from a factual stantpoint
--Then Joe .. can you come to the safe conclusion.. that indeed I pwn.. eh?? *cough* .. J/k :biggrin:
--nuff said ppl... Let the games continue!
